Neverwinter’s Beta Weekend Two was a smash success! We had players from far and wide join in on the testing and adventuring, trying out a variety of available content and fighting all kinds of monsters for the glory of Neverwinter.

If you participated in the Beta this past weekend, you may have tried your hand at the newly playable Control Wizard, explored new zones like Ebon Downs and Helm’s Hold, experienced player-made Foundry content, and done your best to reach the newly introduced level cap of 40.

Most of all, you quested. A LOT. So much so, that you’ve blown the Beta Weekend Two Community Challenge clear out of the water. You’ve done solo quests, group quests, dungeons, Foundry quests, and much more, and as promised, the Level Cap will be bumped to 50 for Beta Weekend Three!

We’re raising the Level Cap from 40 to 50 for Beta Weekend Three, starting on March 22!

Thank you everyone that participated in the Beta this past weekend and the Beta weekend Two Community Challenge. For those of you that have yet to participate in the Beta, never fear!

The Foundry is Neverwinter’s featured toolset that allows players to create dungeons, stories, and adventures for everyone to play and experience. With the Foundry, you can build your own missions, brimming with quests, non-player characters (NPCs), monsters, role-playing opportunities, and/or non-stop combat, and share them with the world. Your imagination is the springboard for the Neverwinter Foundry.

The Foundry Spotlight is a community-driven column that focuses on hand-picked, inventive player-created dungeons that allow for action-packed combat, fun roleplaying opportunities, or other unique experiences. These exciting missions are recommended if you’re looking for a place to start with playing user-generated content, or searching for inspiration for your own future dungeons.

Rumors have begun to spread after the discovery of a Mystrallan structure in the Neverwinter Wood. These rumors weave tales of a lost Temple of Mystra and a band of drow followers of Lolth somewhere within the Wood. This structure may hold clues to the Temple’s location, as Cleric Millan believes. The Cleric of Lurue has set about to hire adventurers in hopes of unraveling these mysteries.

The Dweomerkeepers, Act I is the first in a series of 8 planned missions.

Community Tips:

Don’t be afraid to try out several of your different dialogue choices when engaging with NPCs and objects! The Dweomerkeepers, Act I offers many opportunities to learn more about Forgotten Realms lore.

I find that having some AoE damage abilities goes a long way in The Dweomerkeepers, Act I.
